The Sessions

Choose Your Sit-Down

Each session is focused on one topic so you leave with clarity, not more questions.

01
Traveler looking at the horizon

The Big Picture

Is Abroad
Right for Me?

Thinking about making the leap but not quite sure yet? We get it — we had the same questions. This is a real conversation about what the abroad life actually feels like day to day, so you can decide if it is right for you.

  • What we wish someone had told us before we left
  • The things people do not think about until they are already there
  • How to know if you are genuinely ready vs. just dreaming
  • Honest talk about the hard parts, not just the highlights

Finding Your Place

Where
Should We Go?

Choosing where to go is one of the hardest parts. We share what it has actually been like living in different places so you can find somewhere that genuinely fits your life, not just your feed.

  • What living in Southeast Asia is really like day to day
  • How we think about cost of living vs. quality of life
  • What we look for in a new place before we commit
  • Where we would explore next and why
03
Financial planning

The Money Talk

Show Me
The Money

Money is the number one thing that holds people back — and we totally understand that. We share what our finances actually look like living abroad so you can figure out what makes sense for where you are.

  • What we actually spend each month and where it goes
  • How we handle banking, transfers and avoiding fees
  • The income streams that have worked for us on the road
  • What we learned about taxes the hard way
04
Planning a move

Let's Get Moving

Let's Plan
The Move

You have made up your mind and now it is time to actually do it. We walk you through what we did, in what order, and what we would do differently — so your move is smoother than ours was.

  • The order we would do everything in if starting over
  • What we sold, shipped, stored and completely regret keeping
  • How we found our apartments from the other side of the world
  • Visas, first weeks on the ground and what caught us off guard

A Note from Jay & Sara

We are not experts. We are just a little further down the road.

We started this journey nearly 3 years ago with a lot of questions and not many answers. We split our time between Vietnam and Thailand, and we have learned so much along the way — about money, visas, what matters and what does not. The Sit-Down is just us sharing what we know, honestly, so your journey starts a little easier than ours did.

"

We do not want to be your coaches. We just want to be the friends who have already made the mistakes so you do not have to.
